Tester Foundation Level 4.0: Software Testing Processes






A test process usually consists of a group of activities from planning to completion that may appear to follow a logical sequence but are often implemented iteratively or in parallel. These testing processes are critical for quality assurance. In this course, you will discover the essential phases of software testing, from the initial planning stages to the final execution and completion. Then you will focus on effective test planning, monitoring, and control to gain practical insights into organizing and managing testing activities. By mastering the intricacies of test analysis, design, implementation, execution, and completion, you will develop the skills needed to navigate complexities and maintain control throughout the testing life cycle. Finally, you will explore the broader context of testing, emphasizing the significance of testware, traceability, and the diverse roles within the testing domain. This course helps prepare learners for the ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level 4.0 (CTFL) exam.
